Question 140
At fictional Ironwood Transit, during a carrier peering cutover, engineers report: A service provider expects nonstop active routing from a backup RE, but only chassis switchover resilience was configured. Which observation would most directly establish that the reported failure has been repaired?
Explanation
Correct Answer
During a controlled primary RE loss, eligible routing adjacencies continue using state maintained by the backup RE. It tests the failed behavior itself rather than merely confirming that a configuration was committed. NSR uses GRES infrastructure while preserving routing protocol state on the backup Routing Engine, avoiding reliance on neighbor restart helpers.
Incorrect Answers
The check is meaningful for segment routing prefix SID, but it does not prove that NSR protocol state replication was repaired. NSR uses GRES infrastructure while preserving routing protocol state on the backup Routing Engine, avoiding reliance on neighbor restart helpers.
A controlled link or peer failure causes BFD Down and timely routing reconvergence rather than waiting for long protocol timers. That establishes BFD fast failure detection rather than a repaired NSR protocol state replication path. The reported failure still requires this evidence: during a controlled primary RE loss, eligible routing adjacencies continue using state maintained by the backup RE.
Every intended member joins the same aggregation and distributes frames according to the approved LAG hash behavior. That establishes LACP aggregation consistency rather than a repaired NSR protocol state replication path. The reported failure still requires this evidence: during a controlled primary RE loss, eligible routing adjacencies continue using state maintained by the backup RE.
